Good news day today! We finally managed to get all of Celise’s medical records from her doctors here in Lviv, which means the doctors at Boston (and CHOP, and MUSC) can officially evaluate her condition and get the ball rolling on getting her home. 

In even better news, Celise is getting stronger and stronger every day! Her vitals look great, and she no longer needs her blood pressure medicine as she is self regulating. She’s at 35% oxygen with 98% saturation, and her feedings have gone up to 25ml every three hours. She will need to stay on the ventilator until surgery so she doesn’t put too much stress on her heart, but she’s trying to breathe on her own which is a great sign!

Thank you so so much to everyone who has donated, shared, and offered words of encouragement and kindness. It means so much to us to see so many people come together for our baby girl!
